Appeal No. 95-2683
Application No. 07/883,912
Serial No. 514,097 and Italian Patent Application, Serial No.
25109, antedate the effective dates of Anderson and Vandenberg
as references. Since we agree with the examiner that the
original specification does not provide descriptive support
for the language "coordination catalyst" appearing in
independent claims 11 and 17, and appealed claims 12-16 all
ultimately depend upon independent claim 11, it follows that
we find that the presently claimed subject matter is not
afforded the filing dates of the U.S. and Italian applications
relied upon by appellants and, therefore, appellants have not
obviated the prior art rejections over Vandenberg alone and in
combination with Anderson.
In conclusion, based on the foregoing, the examiner's
decision rejecting the appealed claims is affirmed.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a).
AFFIRMED
